Amaro recently told The Associated Press in an interview that he was looking forward to putting last season behind him, when he was criticized at times for some drops and lapses in concentration.
"Yeah,Air Max 97 For Sale Cheap, and I feel bad for the kid," Ryan said when asked if he had reaction to Tuesday's news. "Jace is a good kid, he's just ... stupid comments. But you know what, he's a good kid, and I feel bad that he can't do it. He's a talented guy."

"Somebody's got to step up," Bowles said. "We've got a couple of guys playing this weekend that we want to see more of, and we'll look at it from there. This is a chance for somebody else to play."
Amaro appeared to be improving as a blocker early in camp while learning new offensive coordinator Chan Gailey's system — although he had been listed third on the team's depth chart at tight end, behind Cumberland and Davis.

"If it's a fact, it's a fact — and you've got to prove it otherwise," he said at the time. "I caught almost 110 passes in college in one season, so I know I can catch the ball. It's really the least of my worries, being able to catch the ball."
Coach Todd Bowles announced Tuesday that Amaro would need surgery to repair the shoulder. The Jets wanted to give Amaro a few weeks first to see if it would heal,Cheap Jerseys Free Shipping.
